Visited this place for the first time after we were recommended by multiple people. And I realized…read morehow I had missed on good sea food till now. Once you come in, I must add that the parking is quite limited, make sure you park in a safe spot. As u enter the restaurant, it gives u a proper seafood vibe. What we ended up ordering were Oysters, crab cakes which came with fires, Calamari, seafood boil (one with old bay sauce and the other with Cajun seasoning) and Ofcourse the dessert- lava cake with vanilla ice-cream and some drinks. The best part? The seafood comes in a plastic bag with your choice of sauce. They do provide you the plastic bib, gloves and everything u need to indulge in your serving. The Cajun is absolutely delicious, it's spicy, hot and perfect for my kind of taste bud! Well it's not a perfect fancy date spot , but if you wanna get messy, get get going .. the Calamari, oysters, lava cake .. everything tasted perfect and I am going back there for sure.

A friend of ours suddenly said, "I want seafood boil," and just like that--we landed here…read more Parking can be a bit tricky, especially on a Saturday night. The place was packed, and we were with a baby, but luckily got a table pretty quickly. The menu has great combo options where you can mix crab, shrimp, lobster, and more--all in one. TBH, that's the way to go instead of ordering everything separately. We ordered two Combo F along with shrimp fried rice and Cajun chicken fried rice. Combo F comes with Snow crab legs (1/2 lb), lobster tail, shrimp (1/2 lb), Potatoes (2 pc), Corn (1/2) Now comes the fun part... The seafood arrives in a plastic bag with your choice of sauce (Cajun, Garlic Butter, lemon pepper, Old Bay, Island style). They shake it all up, and then it's on you to dive in. You're given gloves, crackers, and tools to break open crab legs and lobster shells. Basically It's messy--but its beautiful mess ..lol I started off all proper with gloves and tools, but after some point, I ditched the gloves because it was just easier to enjoy the food that way. The Cajun sauce was absolutely delicious--rich, spicy, and full of flavor. I even ordered plain rice just to mix it with the leftover gravy... and wow, that was a amazing. Highly recommend trying that! Everything is essentially boiled seafood tossed in sauce, so don't expect anything grilled or crispy--it's all about the flavors and experience. The fried rice was tasty too, though the rice itself was a bit on the harder side. This isn't just a meal--it's an experience. Perfect for going out with friends, getting messy, and enjoying good seafood together.

The thing is a restaurant should care about every single plate they put out - so when a restaurant dishes a take out order they know is subpar - I lose respect. I got there early in the day around 11am, ordered takeout of 2 sides roast potatoes and sautéed garlic. What I received was boiled potatoes that obviously had sat in water too long and became water logged. The spinach didn't even have fresh garlic slivers which is the main feature along with the olive oil. They used the little dried garlic that you shake out of a bottle you can find in the season aisle of any store. I called the store my call was just passed around.

Just finish dinner in this buffet. Wednesday night: $15.99 per person. This place is amazing!! They…read moredo not have cold mussel or raw oyster, but they have lots of crab legs! The crab legs taste very great as well as the size!! Crawfish is the same, great size and clean. Cooked shrimp is a little but too overdone, but the clams and cooked mussels are great! The baked mussel is the best tho! The sushi is alright, average. If you like seafood especially crab legs, this is definitely the place to go to. Their refilling is way better than other buffet. Great amount of refill each timeI will definitely come back again for soon! If you consider coming on a weekend. The price is $16.99 per person. However, the foods are gone really quickly and you may have to eat like you are in a war or something. Especially crab legs, you will see many people waiting around it to refill with the plate, then 4-5 people will fight through each other and grab as much crab legs as possible. Every refill is a war. Also, the crab legs in weekend are very salty. I felt like I ate a whole bottle of salt. Cooked shrimp is very soggy and it is very hard to take the shell off. Crawfish, mussel, clam, and others are normal. I do find the tempura crab is kind of tasty, but it's very depends on individual's sense of taste. I will only come here on weekdays because I don't want to have a dinner which I have to be in a war.

No point of trying again…read more Waitress goes from sweeping floor to refilling drinks without washing hands. Snow crab legs chopped into small pieces. Blue claw crabs dried out from laying on warming table so long.

We came to Ceviche 517 Restaurant & Lounge as a group of five, hoping to find good food, great…read moremusic, and some fun new cocktails--and this place absolutely delivered on most fronts! A quick heads-up: on Google Maps it's listed as Ceviche 517, but the sign on the building says Tavern 517, which initially threw us off. We were circling around until we decided to just trust the physical address--and we're so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, the name didn't even matter anymore. The decor is stunning--definitely has an upscale, Instagram-worthy vibe with a modern lounge feel. We might've come a little early because the place was quiet when we arrived, but that worked in our favor as we got to settle in comfortably and explore the menu. Drinks were a mixed experience. We tried the margarita flight, which included coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry. The coconut and passion fruit margaritas were absolutely delicious--fresh, balanced, and memorable. The strawberry, however, was a big miss--tasted like kid's medicine and no one at the table could finish it. We also ordered a drink called something like Chicola--it had ginger ale, lime juice, and some type of liquor, and unfortunately, it was another one we couldn't get through. The flavors just didn't mix well, and everyone at the table agreed it was a no for us. On the flip side, the Perfect Mule with a strawberry twist, the Henny Mojito, and a bold and fun drink called No Sheets were much better received. Menus are displayed on sleek tablets, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the in-house menu offered way more options than what's listed online. And the food? Absolutely excellent. The Tallarín Saltado with vegetables was beyond delicious--we placed it in the center so everyone could dig in. The ceviche flight was fresh and flavorful, and the jalea (a fried seafood platter) didn't last long on the table either. One friend had the larger ceviche bowl paired with a mojito and already asked to come back just for that combo. Even the kid's arroz chaufa with chicken impressed us, with a big enough portion for leftovers. If there's one thing that fell flat, it was the atmosphere--at least early in the evening. When we arrived, the music playing sounded like retro video game tunes, but thankfully it transitioned into upbeat Spanish hits, including some great bachata that gave the space some energy. All in all, despite a few drink misses and a quiet start, this spot is a gem. The food alone is worth the trip, and we're definitely planning to return--next time a little later in the evening to hopefully catch a livelier vibe!

Came here on a Friday night, walked inside the bar not knowing the restaurant entrance is on the parking lot, people were nice to point us through the kitchen to the restaurant. The place is very interesting, a lot of different artwork and decor. They serve complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Started off with the Cowboy Calamari ($19.95) and it was delicious. The calamari was nice and crispy, it was drizzled with some sort of sweet sauce. This was actually the highlight of the night, I highly recommend getting this. For my main, I ordered the 12 oz ribeye ($24.95) with onion rings ($4). The ribeye was bigger than 12 oz, it was huge. I got it medium but it came out medium rare, which if fine with me. The ribeye was good and very filling, just know you get what you pay for. Overall it was a good experience with interesting atmosphere. * Reatuarant entrance on the side of parking lot * Parking on premise and Street parking * Get the Cowboy Calamari

There's a convenient parking lot in front, but sometimes it can be a little packed. The staff will greet you warmly when you come in. While we haven't tried the pizza yet, we came here for their pasta since we did see a random influencer talking about it. We got the vodka, meat sauce and broccoli pasta. My friends and family all thought the pasta was so so good. The flavors were deep, the sauce thick and plenty, and the pasta was fine. They also included a ton of fresh bread, which was nice. Prices were fair and we can't wait to order pasta from here again. Hope the pizza matches the quality of the pasta too!
